Teresa Giudice Will Spend Time At “Orange Is the New Black” Prison

Actually, she’s got 15 months to be exact. After pleading guilty to fraud charges, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her husband were sentenced to a good few months in the slammer.

Joe Giudice was sentenced to 41 months in jail while she only received 15 months. Recently, she requested to spend her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury, also known as the prison that inspired the memoir-turned-Netflix-series Orange Is the New Black.

Between Judge Salas and the Bureau of Prisons, it was decided that she will complete her prison sentence at Danbury. The verdict is still out on if she will spend a year of her time at a halfway house, but that will be decided by the Bureau of Prisons.

Giudice’s request to serve at Danbury actually created some tension with her legal crisis manager Wendy Feldman, who decided to part ways with her client.

“My client relationships are very important to me, however today’s filing regarding Teresa’s Bureau of Prisons designation request was not done with my knowledge or input. I am not the consultant referred to in filing. This is clearly not the first time my advice has not been followed, but this is the time where the stakes are the highest.”
